Get-hard drives - storage drives data store migrate between data warehouses

Hi all


Our current storage configuration with specially designed split-role of the bases of data storages (OS, LOG SQL, SQL DATA, APP, Exchange roles, etc.)  I do a storage store on my VMware Infrastructure and hoped to target only the disks of virtual machines that are on any data store and migrate them to another.  Rather new to PowerCli if you're wondering why the bellows of the command does not work and the reports that the file is locked.


Get-hard drive - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Moving-hard drive - data store Datastore02

If the machine virtual itself is made aware of the command?  Would I have to enumarte the virtual machines on the first data store and then target discs that everyone has and redirect it to the hard disk Move command?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you are banging in the sequence of commands trying to move a file on the data store without referencing the virtual machine. According to the State of the virtual machine (lit or not) of different things happen

  • VM power off - the disc is moved and the virtual machine is broken (the vmx file will always point to the original location for the HD that is no longer there)
  • Virtual MACHINE power - the disk is locked, so it cannot be moved (the error you have seen)

Another thing to keep in mind is that the configuration of the VM is also on a data store, so if you want to move the entire virtual machine you can just move the hard drives

If all the virtual machines on a data store have all their HDs on this data store then you can do something like

Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Move-VM - data store "Datastore02".

To access the VM configuration, but also his records. If you have virtual machines where the disks into a single virtual machine, then you will have a little more work to do to sort the records that must be moved

Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Get-hard drive | Where-Object {$_.} FileName.Contains ("[Datastore01]")} | Moving-hard drive - data store "Datastore02".

This is all virtual machines with a component (hard drive or configuration) on Datastore1, and then for each VM is all hard disks that are on Datastore01 and the Datastore02

  • How to get a manufactured HARD drive date?

    How to decode a serial number of the HARD drive to get the correct manufacturing date?

    I found some information, see the attachment below, but the HARD drive in question is SATA and serial number decodes to Feb 1997 which may not be correct.
    SN in question is 27MJFxxxx. Instructions below, 7 = 1997 - which would be 2007?

    Thanks for any help.

    How to encode a Toshiba hard drive serial number?

    Toshiba serial number (S/N) includes the date of manufacture. The first digit of the serial number indicates the month of manufacture and the 2nd digit is the year.

    Example:
    M Y x x x x x x x
    M = month
    Y = year

    Data for the month goes from 1, for January, by 9 in September, then X, Y and Z, for October, November and December.

    Examples:
    2 8 1 7 0 0 0 1
    2 = February
    8 = 1998

    3 0 5 4 4 3 0 6 T
    3 = March
    0 = 2000

    X 9 7 8 3 3 1 T
    X = October
    9 = 1999

    The remaining digits contain information about the plant and the production line, and some numbers are reserved for a continuously running serial number.

    Hello

    I googled a bit and there are a lot of people that suggests how to read a serial number, I have no idea if he of right, but for example if you have a serial number: X7TO234534, then the product data would be October 2007 (X 7)
    X = 10 = October, Y = November, Z = Dec
    The first number is the month and the second digit is one year.

    So in your case, the serial number 27MJFxxxx should mean Feb 2007

    However, these are only some gossip on the internet and who knows if it of good or bad

    You can not install Windows 7 on an external drive. Windows 7 requires that install you it on an attached storage device internally. What you can do is to back up your current installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive external. Install a new hard drive, then restore the backup of this drive. To learn more:

  • Advice needed on the laptop hard drive data recovery.

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could provide some advice on the recovery of data from an ACER laptop which was held in Microsoft Vista?

    The laptop broke due to the 'PIN' inside the power supply's cable breaking. PC World said that it would cost hundreds of pounds to repair.

    I have some important files saved on the drive hard (backup files conveniently failed too!) and I'd like back them.

    What are my options? Should I seek professional IT useful to do? Or I can try to get files back myself? I currently have a Toshiba laptop that works under XP.

    Hello Chris,

    I by removing the hard drive and put it in a USB enclosure. There are 2 types of one HD is IDE the other is SATA. You can buy one from Newegg.com for less than $ 15. You may need to take possession of the disc and its files if you do this. Here are the steps: to take ownership of a file or a folder how to appropriate a file you must have owner of a protected file to access. If another user has restricted access and you are the computer administrator, you can access the file to appropriate.

    To take ownership of a file, follow these steps:

    1. Right click on the file that you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
    3. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    4. In the name list, click administrator, or click the Administrators group, and then click OK.
      The administrator or the Administrators group now owns the file.

    To change the permissions on the file that you now own, follow these steps:

    1. Click on Add.
    2. In the list enter the object names to select (examples) , type the user or group account that you want to have access to the file. For example, type administrator.
    3. Click OK.
    4. In the group or user names list, click the account you want, and then select the check boxes of the permissions you want to assign to this user.
    5. When you're done to assign permissions, click OK.
    6. You can now access the file.

    How to capture a record you must have ownership of a protected folder to access. If another user has restricted access and you are the computer administrator, you can access the folder by taking possession.

    To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps:

    1. Right click on the folder that you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. Click on the Security tab, and then click OK in the security message (if one appears).
    3. Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    4. In the name list, click your user name, click administrator if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .
    5. Click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
      You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

      All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes. Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

    6. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

    Let us know whether, if that helps you. Make it a great day!

  • Hard drive data from the sector error on desktop HP Pavilion magnesium grey Edition p6404y

    I have a HP Pavilion p6404y desktop computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP Support Assistant. When I run the wizard it tells me this - "WDC WD10 EADS-65M2B1 CMSS Disk Device-4 errors in data sectors make unusable sector." He suggested I have a scanner. If I run the quick scan, it ends and shows just as fine. If I run a full scan, it reaches 62% complete (i.e. 99% of the "left foot" criterion) and seems to freeze. I left alone for two hours to get that last percent of this test, then I just give up and cancel, so I was not able to complete a full scan.

    Also, often, when I start my computer first, I get a screen that says: "one of your disks should be checked for consistency.

    Then, he turns his thing and says it is finished and then starts.

    It seems to be very slow all the time, too.

    I also, lately, get a box saying my performance is slow, I want to move from Windows Aero to Windows basic to help performance.

    So I wonder, my hard drive takes a dump, or what? This system is only two years old.

    Thank you!

    Hi techrex, I would say by restarting and pressing F9 to enter the Diagnostics screen and run diagnostics on your HARD drive.  If you get an error I'd say calling HP support to see what they suggest - could be that your HARD drive is on its way.

    If this is the case, immediately save all your work, photos, emails, etc..  Make your recovery DVD (press F11 at startup and have up to 4 ready virgins of DVD quality to make your recovery disks.

    If you need to replace the HARD drive yourself, it will be easy to recover the PC with your recovery discs.

    Remember: use esd protection and always disconnect your PC from the network if you plan to open the chassis and replace the HARD drive or perform another task on your PC, like blowing any dust with a can of compressed air.

    I would like to know if this suggestion helps.

  • vSphere Esxi 4.1 - reconnected hard drive data lost

    Hello

    I have ESXI 4.1 running on a HP Proliant managed by Vsphere

    the virtual machine is a simple Windows Server 2008 R2 Std

    It runs on a data store that is a hard drive of 250 GB on the proliant

    I have a 1 TB drive also which I use as the drive data and this is added as a second drive.

    This allows me to disconnect the 1 TB drive. run and export the VM stop and save effectively just the virtual machine

    data on the 1 TB drive, that I Windows backup on a daily schedule.

    I run this procedure to stop the virtual machine

    disconnect the 2 disk which is the 1 TB data store

    running the export

    and then reconnect the hard drive 2 and restarting the virtual machine

    It worked great until last night.

    When I restored the data store, it has restored about dated February 2, 2013.

    I can't understand what has happened and really need help to avoid meeting in this new

    Fortunately, I can recover all the data since nightly backups that I ran a backup before you perform the procedure described above.

    I'm mystifed.

    Here's what I noticed when you unplug the hard drive 2 last night.

    Finally I did this procedure on February 2 and the backup to the top of the virtual machine

    After the virtual machine is stopped and exporting, then I went to add the hard drive I could see a dated 2nd February

    the thing is that I assumed it meant the date that his latest creation so don't think too much about. The data store is all most of the 1 TB drive so it's not like him both of them can store on disk. There are only two files vmdk files and that's what I expected to see.

    I started everything and checked to make sure that faulty data was available and it went well, Windows Server

    I didn't check the dates, but once the staff came this morning it began to be clear that nothing happened 2nd feb existed and actually I had added 2 disc hard back from this date.

    I have two questions that I can't answer

    1 where the hell is the data store frrom last night before disconnection? I just unplugged and not clicked the option to remove data.

    2 how a store of data of 1 TB of 2nd Feb suddnely may not appear in its place.

    If anyone can help solve me this problem I would really appreciate it.

    There are no snapshots more listed in the Snapshot Manager

    Although most of the time it's ok, not necessarily count on it (it's just a text file that contains the information of snapshot). Always check the settings of the virtual machine to verify that the virtual disk has no snapshot name (i.e... - 00000 x hard). The time shown for the files, is at once when the file descriptor hard (virtual disks consist of two files hard, a header/descriptor and a data file, but only the time stamp and the name of the header file and the size of the data file is displayed in the data store Explorer) has been changed, so it's ok if it shows when you run the consolidation.

    attached screenshots indicate it of okay now and be safe remove the DISK_1 and add in back without risk of that happening again?

    I'm sure DISK_1 point parameters of the virtual machine to the "Windows Server 2008 R2 Std_1.vmdk" and "Windows Server 2008 R2 Std_1 - 000001.vmdk" now obsolete and can be deleted. As previously mentioned, I suggest that you move this file into a new subdirectory and delete later if all goes as planned.

  • Installed hard drives data recovery serial

    As many other users on these boards, by X 205 won't start.

    I ran a search to find all the files I wanted (*.jpg in this case) and the search came back with hundreds of files (pictures) that I'm trying to recover... but it wont let me open them.
    I guess because the disks are installed in this machine series, somehow, I need to find a way to read them both to access these files?

    Any help is appreciated!

    Remove each disk of the machine, connect using 2.5 SATA box at the other PC as external device and you should have access to all stored data.

    Hello

    I recently tried to help a friend for his Toshiba Satellite A100 data recovery, died on this screen.
    I thought this would be a task simply remove the hard drive and put a HARD drive caddy and attaching it to another computer.

    This doesn't seem to work.
    Can I put the hard drive in the computer and I can hear start the computer to the top and was able to see it with a LCD display. I was able to delete the data in this way, so we're safe.

    My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?
    I guess it must be an interface or format the laptop can be used for the recovery section and cannot therefore be seen as a normal drive.

    If I could not delete the data because say the motherboard is dead. Is it possible to be able to see the data on another computer.

    > My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?

    Of course you can do if you want to use a symbol external USB SATA controller (external HARD drive) you should be able to connect to another computer.
    But if the HARD drive is faulty, it will not work.
